Issues with 3870X2

[jaykay]

2D clocks maybe?

lol

mine doesn't - lets start a poll

does it make a difference whether you have crossfire enabled in bios or not ?

Where is this BIOS setting ? I dont have that on my ASUS PK5 , at least not that I am aware of .....

I have no idea why his shows up.
Are you using the latest drivers and latest GPU-Z?

Yep latest CAT's and Hotfix and GPU-Z

I dont think so Tute... They chap who started THIS thread only has one 3870X2 and GPU-Z shows that crossfire is enabled in his setup as it detects the 2x GPU's

Check the GPU-Z version. It's an old one without the proper parameters for the card. Trust me - it's supposed to say disabled. Otherwise what would it say when you have a pair of them?

I dunno..."OMGWTF!?"

j/k

I assume that the lower set of clocks is right as well then ? or is that a software blip too?

 

[Tute]

Yep, software blip. It's certainly clocking up properly on mine.

CrossFire should display as 'disabled' because the card runs crossFire transparently in the hardware. No help from the software layer is needed.

why the clocks all over the place on the 2nd core.

see new version of GPU-Z out - 0.1.6

 

[Buckster]

GPU temp = 60C

VDDC1 = 63C
VDDC2 = 60C

6.8 A (idle ! thats quite a lot)

Fan Speed = 12%

whats the rest of your spec of your PC ? you could be CPU limited.

I've noticed a big difference going from a 8800GTS 512MB, and thats quite a bit quicker than a 2900xt

Buckster,

my config is

Intel E6600 clocked @ 2.66
4 gigs of Geil 6400 800 mhz ram
Vista 64 bit
intel Bad axe 2 mobo
x-fi extreme music sound
Antec Neo HE true 550 wats PSU

Running all at 1680 x 1050 resolution.
